| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dynamic scene of Magyar mounted archers riding at full gallop while twisting in the saddle to shoot arrows backwards, a technique historically associated with the Hungarian conquest-era warriors. Below the mounted figures, the chest armour (mellvért) of Rakamaz is shown, a celebrated artifact of the Magyar archaeological heritage. The dates 896 and 1996 flank the field, commemorating the 1100th anniversary of the Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin, with the engraver's initials GG also present. |
